On September 15, 2026, H.E. Mr. Sasivat Wongsinsawat, Ambassador of Thailand to the Russian Federation, representing the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, together with Thanpuying Varaporn Pramoj Na Ayudhya, President of the World Tipiṭaka Foundation; Thanpuying Dr. Pharani Mahanonda, President of the Dhamma Society Fund; and Thanpuying M.L. Maṇīratana (Snidvongse) Bunnag, under the patronage of His Holiness Prince Krom Luang Vajirañāṇasaṁvara, accompanied by the patrons of the Saj-jʰā-ya Tipiṭaka Project, jointly presented 80 volumes of the World Tipiṭaka (Saj-jʰā-ya Phonetic Edition)—comprising the King Bhumibol Adulyadej and Queen Sirikit Commemorative editions (2016)—to the National Library of Russia in Saint Petersburg. The presentation was received by Mrs. Olga Lyubimova, Minister of Culture of the Russian Federation, and Mr. Denis Tsypkin, Director General of the National Library of Russia, with officials from the Royal Thai Embassy and Russian dignitaries present as witnesses.
Since the successful completion of the 80-volume Saj-jʰā-ya Phonetic Tipiṭaka King Bhumibol Adulyadej and Queen Sirikit Commemorative edition in 2016, the project has conducted ongoing research and linguistic transliteration of Pāḷi phonetic sounds based on the original Saj-jʰā-ya edition. These texts were formatted into a computer engineering database, enabling the publication of a 40-volume Kirillitsa-Pāḷi edition known as the World Tipiṭaka Kirillitsa-Pāḷi Series (Russian-Pāḷi), as demonstrated in this Dhammapada sample: https://www.sajjhaya.org/node/606
